Jis ne kabhi sang ka murasim parastish se tha jod diya
Jaane kyon aaj khud usi ne booton ko tod diya

Likkhe hum ne uskey afsaane zamin se falak tak
Ek apni zeest ka hi safha khaali chhod diya

Hai phaili teri dastaan sitaaron se bhi aagey
Jaane kya hua ke aaj zamin ne uthh kar falak mod diya

Chhayi rahegi surkhi baghon mein ta qayamat
Ab khezaaon me bhi kisi ne apna khoon-e-jigar nichod diya

Samandar ki syaahi se jo likhne baithhe teri daastaan
Ek waraq ke baad syaahi ne qalam ka saath chhod diya
